"My penance will never be enough" Blood. Power. Darkness. Agony. For the last three hundred years, these are the only things Aden Westcott has known. But as the world's most notorious and most feared vampire commander, what do you do when you unexpectedly encounter the love of your life-only she's human? Do you cling to the darkness you've always known, or do you join the fight for a world where her light has the power to transform a vicious vampire-dominated society and save your undead soul in the process? Set in a dystopian world five hundred years in the future, where vampires rule and humans are slaves, The BloodStone Legacy is a hauntingly sensual story of forbidden love, heart-wrenching choices, sacrifice, and redemption in a world consumed by darkness. In a society divided by power and blood, Aden Westcott is a brutal vampire haunted by the memory of a lost love. When he meets Ellie, a human thrall who bears a striking resemblance to his past, she challenges everything he believes and turns his world upside down. As their lives intertwine and their passion ignites, Aden's inner turmoil and Ellie's resilience spark a forbidden bond, unraveling long-buried secrets. Together, they must navigate a treacherous path in a world where darkness and light collide and choices have consequences.
